Billy's lady told him
Let this be understood
Somethin' better happen soon
Things don't look too good
Tired of savin' pennies 29
Tryin' to make ends meet
By next Monday afternoon
Gonna be out on the street
Billy thought it over
He said with a smile
Everything will be alright
Just a little while
Better get right to it
Pack my things and go
He put on his tennis shoes
Walked out into the snow

Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
Does your conscience get you when you’re lyin' in your bed
Are you feeling sorry for the things that you've done
Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue
Did you have to grab your things and run
She received a postcard
Sad for her that way
Said I got myself a job
Here at Whitesand Bay
Sendin' you some money
So that you can eat
Everything will be alright
I’ll soon be back on my feet
But Billy he was lying
To the one who loved him most
Met a well made lady
Lived down by the coast
Spent the days and nights together
Promised to be true
But I know he’ll get what he’s got
Coming to him soon
Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
Does your conscience get you when you’re lyin' in your bed
Are you feeling sorry for the things that you've done
Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue
Did you have to grab your things and run
